New Meta?

Here's my thoughts on New Meta:

I honestly think in the Crit/Dodge meta, this is the most OP team.

But..... not because of the Veigar. The Ahri.

Why? You make her skill Crit, and shove a Guinsoo's on her, 3 Sorc, Wild, your choice of third item..... BAM. She just starts ninja deleting teams with Critting True damage.

(RFC also no longer has cannot dodge, while this build DOES - too all these Yordles....)

(I thought Riot was going to put in a Last Whisper Option that had the Cannot Dodge....... Why was that scrapped into Giant Slayer?)

(I also Yordled Ahri, so she had 65% Crit rate)

Seems legit. Gonna go try this out.

update Ya, pretty legit. Difficult to get the wild comp at the end - maybe start with that and build from there? The Yordles are a little hard to come by to get T3s (as they're like all 3g), and items seem to be harder to get now. But, overall, got me to 3rd on the first try without much sweat. Seemed really item-dependent. I doubt I could do much without a good amount of them. And a single team with 2 hextech DESTROYED me late game. So... maybe needs a little work.

I had 2 Star Nid/WW around first pvp round with a 1 Star Ahri. Gnar came around a little before 2nd Carousel. Early game, you don't really need the whole Yordle comp, because damage/items are less prevalent.

#But once you have 4 Wild, it pretty much voids other Yordle comps, encouraging them to change their builds FROM yordle, freeing you cards. It also Voids Shen core Blademaster builds.

I don't think it's that item Dependent as long as you convert 1 Wild into a Yordle. You will struggle to have the population to place 8/8+ if you don't. Other than that, there's a lot of ways to build it. It's more about placement than items.

It also counters Assassins, Blademasters, Nobles, and Void, considering they can't hit.

In my game, Ahri had a Jeweled Gauntlet, Guinsoo's and Mittens Gnar had a Dragon's Tooth, Phantom Dancer, and the new Sword (forget what it's called) Veigar had a SoS and a Redemption (late game item)

I think sorcs are pretty nutty right now in general. Their trait damage amp + death cap or jeweled gloves can turn them into monsters right now.

I had a blitz2 sorc3 critical blitz.

1 hook did a crit of 1283 dmg, 1 shotting people. Was pretty fun to watch.

That fell off quickly in late game though, when people started to survive the hook. Needed more firing power in that blitz.

5 Yordles so you need glove and spatula. Both hard to get. Good luck making a dream team. Its like playing full Royal and praying for Kayle. Gnar is late game, Warwick suck...

You have to survive marksman / blademaster / assassin early to even try climbing if you dont have lucky rolls.

Not that its bad... Will try it for sure 🤣

This was surprisingly efficient. In this case, the most important champ, I think, was Kass. I had an Iceborne Gauntlet, Giant Slayer, and RFC on him and that did most of the work. All the other items I had were just common item/champ combos (Defensive stuff on Garen and Darius) and I ended up with a Bloodthirster on Khazix. But I think the big deal-breaker was Ice Gaunt and RFC on Kass, since it allowed him to dodge and slow enemies while keeping behind the big guys.
